Dear Mr. XXX

Recently, I received some information from you on the new chrysler minivans, for which I thank you. However, I recently transferred my caravan to my daughter and bought a New Yorker, Fifth Avenue and a Dodge Shadow. If I am ever in the market for a new van you can be assured it will be a chrysler product.

There is one problem that I pray you can assist me with. I was born 73 years ago, come January 20, 1993. All birth records, my parents memory, and my phsical appearance show me to be of the male gender. I dated several girls as a youth, married one of them and fathered two children. I spent 27 years in the armed forces, during which time I used a communal shower with up to 20 shower heads occupied by male GIs, who Im sure would identify me as a man. I have an appendage in my crotch that, while nothing to brag about, has, until recent years, always answered the call to duty. Then; in 1987 I purchased a Dodge Minivan and lo and behold I got a sex change with it. I have fought with TATE Dodge of shreveport, La., Bayside Chrysler Plymouth of Biloxi, Ms., and EdSaylor Dodge Chrysler of Gulfport, Ms. trying to get this corrected. Now, if you can find a female whose name is spelled BERNIS, and not BERNICE, I will quit bitching. If you Cant will you please make me a male again or remove my name from your computer.

Sincerely

(and he signed his name) Bernis W. Hardin

(also in handwriting) Please excuse typing errors. Age on me & the machine has taken its toll.
